Wow dude... I am really not sure what is going on.
From what I hear all people have to do is make sure rpmfusion is in
repo and yum update
This is the only thread were it has failed like this
I guess the only thing left to try is not do it through yum but
add/remove software
It should not make a bit of difference, but you may want to remove the
driver go back to nouveau and try the proprietary driver through
add/remove software, as well as the kmod for the kernel version.
Then lower protection (selinix) then rdblacklist=nouveau on kernel lines
in grub.conf
Agreed, it SHOULDN'T make a difference. But I'll give it a shot...
1. "Applications | System | Software Management" (kpackagekit)
2. Search for "kmod-nvidia"
3. Select "akmod-nvidia" & "kmod-nvidia"
4. Install the following packages:
nvidia-settings
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
nvidia-xconfig
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs
kmod-nvidia-2.6.33.4-95.fc13.x86_64
5. "Apply"
NOTHING was added to the end of the kernel line in grub.conf. Also, here is the
contents of my xorg.conf file as it stands after I installed the above packages:
# Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "on"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
So, I'm going to delete xorg.conf, add "rdblacklist=nouveau nomodeset" to
the
kernel line and reboot...
I'll get back with you in a few minutes.
